Here is something...I visited Houston in '82 and thought it was the rudest city I have ever encountered. Visited a couple of years ago, and complete opposite. Friendly people who seemed approachable and interested in engaging in conversation. Perhaps just coincidence in the places I visited, but I saw Houston as becoming much friendlier as the city matures. Anyone else notice this?
Will agree on Pittsburgh, Portland, and San Diego. All friendly. (minus some freeway behavior, but that is another thread).

I had a bad experiences in Houston the first time I visited there. I have never been told off like that before by a service employee. I never thought it was a Houston thing. I just thought of it as being a mean person. Too many people in Houston to make judgment on the entire city by a handful of people.
No way in hell. Everyone, of course, has different experiences. I've visited Chicago about 15 times and I've encountered some of the rudest behavior on the planet while in Chicago.
yes, but you realize, I hope, that all those people were tourists/out-of-towners
He/She is definitely a homer. However, my best guess is they want to equate "unfriendly" with "major city". If I'm right, then this poster is extremely uninformed.
